A tangent but reminds me of the fact that even though we have millions of photographers with amazing cameras, most news and culture sites display images in low quality.

So most great photos will also never been seen. I remember Boston Globe from years ago with great photo content that really captured the vibe of so many places and people in the news.

These days news means boring propaganda PR pictures or tiny images with artifacts, very weird. It's like we're not as close to the actual world as we were 10+ years ago.

Probably also about licensing, but it's stupid because most photos won't end up as "pressphoto of the year" or whatever they are saving their HQ versions for.
